Home Decor Modern

Modern décor is often mistaken as being sterile and cold. The truth is, as with any style of décor, warmth and style can be incorporated with use of color and choosing the right home accessories. While modern décor relies upon clean lines and classic shapes, it can be warm and inviting when paired with soft accessories such as wall hangings, furnitures and floor coverings. Using color, texture and character pieces, even the most modern room can be warm and inviting.

To soften the sometimes cold look of a modern home design, begin by choosing pieces with natural wood. Wood offers warmth and comfort to any design. Adding soft cushions in restful, earthy colors to wood furniture pieces will create a comfortable, inviting area. Including home accessories that compliment the wood tones will help complete the design.

When it comes to adding warmth to modern designs, one of the most effective design elements is to allow the home to look lived in. Table décor should be practical as well as decorative. Home accessories should reflect hobbies and interests. Even wall art décor can incorporate travels and family photographs. Character and personality through little touches will help create a welcoming home.

Home Interior Wall

The exposed brick wall has captured the hearts of the young urbanites for years with their interior designs and is finding its path from the inner cities to the suburbs around the country. Not every wall in your home should have an exposed brick wall, but the texture, age and color can bring the room character and warmth.

Before exposing the brick wall make sure the brick is in great condition. Some brick can deteriorate over time and become damaged. It won’t look appealing and interior designs will not be able to save it. Make a small opening or even try to examine the brick through an electrical fixture. This should allow you to determine the quality and color of the brick.

Home Interior Bedroom

Of course, there are many rugs available in the market to adorn the look of a house. But, selecting special rugs according to the home décor is very important. Cotton rugs, wool rugs and other braided rugs are some of the commonly used area rugs that augment the overall interior of each room like kitchen, living area and bathroom.

But, for bedroom, a unique and classy rug that adds softness and romance should be considered. A soft furry area rug under your bare feet will make you feel quixotic.

The soft furry rugs are generally available from sheepskin, alpaca and Tibetan lamb’s wool. Faux fur rugs can also deliver softness as they are artificially made.

Sheepskin rugs are made of the hide of a sheep by skinning and drying. These are one of the beautiful, luxurious rugs available with several inches of thickness. In addition, they are naturally comfortable and can withstand stain, soil and flame. Well, no manufacturer makes them resistant as they can naturally endure harmful effects. Thus, they are very expensive. You can even opt for custom sheepskin rugs and add elegance to your bedroom’s décor. You can even personalization them with a dye and style them depending on your desire. They are easily maintained by washing them in a standard washing machine. The beauty of the product will not be damaged. So, never overlook or under-estimate these rugs, when you are thinking of including a special feel to your bedroom.

Home Interior Kitchen

Every season, men and women from all across the globe, are glued up to watch every episode of Master Chef. Master Chef is a cooking reality show based from a British original. The show captures the hearts not only of aspiring chefs but of everyone who enjoys fancy and highly-advanced fashion homewares. What explains the surging rating of reality cooking shows? Is it because of people’s genuine interest in how they design their homes? Or is it merely because cooking shows now give viewers the same thrills that we get when watching glamorous celebrities on the tube?

Researches have proved that only 12% of the total adult population dislikes cooking at home. This means that over 50% enjoy fussing at the stove – many of them enjoy the activity and others see it as a necessary task. Over 58% watch food programs on TV. They read the food section of newspapers and magazines and visit food websites. Given this, we can fairly say that media is a great influence not only in how homes prepare their food but also on how homeowners purchase home decor and decorate the kitchen.

According to studies, the average household’s kitchen is primarily influenced by friends and family. But food programs come in second. Viewers watch food TV shows because they want to learn new recipes. But given the fancy kitchen equipment and the convenience that these kitchenware offer, people no longer just watch cooking shows like Master Chef merely for cooking techniques but also to get the latest scoop in lifestyle homewares.

Expectedly, because men and women who love to cook also enjoy decorating the kitchen, high-end brands in kitchen homeware use these top-rating cooking shows to advertise their products. Even celebrities like Jamie Oliver, Donna Hay, and Maggie Beer who already have kitchen branded products take advantage of the high ratings of cooking shows. Now, people do not just watch food programs to explore new recipes, they do so as well to seek inspiration on how to decorate their kitchen.
